2006 Senate Bill 1260 ↩

House Roll Call 768: Passed

To authorize the transfer of $60 million for the (new) leaking underground fuel tank cleanup program proposed by House Bill 6047. The money would come from the state fund that receives revenue from a 7/8ths cent-per-gallon "regulatory fee" (gas tax) imposed on the sale of petroleum products, which was originally intended for the cleanup of underground fuel storage tanks. In 2004, <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2004-HB-6074">Public Act 390 of 2004</a> extended the sunset on this tax (previously scheduled to end on Oct. 1, 2004) until 2011, and used $43 million from the cleanup fund to avoid making spending cuts in the 2005 budget.
